Create a new workspace using Vivid Desktop

When you're working with multiple applications, the Windows Task Bar enables you to iconify an application you require at a later date.

There's no Expose built in to Windows XP.

You could have Photoshop maximised and open on one workspace and Illustrator on the other. A quick CTRL+ALT+2 quickly takes you to your other app. Vivid Desktop is a virtual space manager that enables you to create multiple workspaces on your system (although any more than four may prove a problem in itself).
